    11 Features MG M9 Gets Over Toyota Vellfire – At Almost Half The Price

    Toyota Vellfire (left), MG M9 (right)JSW MG M9 Presidential Limousine has been launched in India for an attractive price point of Rs 69.9 lakh (Ex-sh). Where on-road price is concerned, MG M9 undercuts all of its rivals in India, including the Kia Carnival. Among the luxury MPVs in India, is Toyota Vellfire, which has established itself quite well in the country.
    Where pricing is concerned, Toyota Vellfire starts from Rs 1.22 Cr for Hi variant and costs Rs 1.33 Cr for top-spec VIP – Executive Lounge variant (both prices Ex-sh). In contrast, MG M9 is launched in India in just one loaded Presidential Limousine variant that costs almost half of what Vellfire does. In this post, let’s take a closer look at 10 things MG M9 offers over Toyota Vellfire.
    MG M9 Size
    1. Size Advantage
    Toyota Vellfire is already a large vehicle with immense room on the inside. MG M9, on the other hand, is simply larger in terms of dimensions. Bringing numbers into the equation, MG M9 is 265 mm longer, 150 mm wider and has a 200 mm longer wheelbase than Vellfire. This translates to better road presence and more room on the inside.
    2. Higher Ground Clearance
    Not only is the MG M9 larger than Vellfire, but also has higher ground clearance. M9 has a ground clearance of 180 mm, as opposed to 160 mm of Vellfire. Both vehicles get 19-inch alloy wheels.
    3. More Airbags
    Toyota Vellfire offers 6 airbags even on its top-spec VIP – Executive Lounge. In contrast, MG M9 offers 7 airbags as standard.
    4. Better Crash Safety Rating
    Toyota Vellfire has been crash tested by JNCAP (Japanese NCAP) where the luxury MPV has scored 4 Star crash safety rating out of 5. In comparison, MG M9 has scored a full-fat 5 Star crash safety rating in ANCAP (Australian NCAP) and 5 Star crash safety rating in Euro NCAP, which is considered to be the most stringent in the world.
    MG M9 Rear Seat
    5. Better Ingress Into 3rd Row
    In a Toyota Vellfire, the narrow interiors allow for a little passage to access 3rd row seats which is accessed by moving 2nd row seats all the way front. Cabin space in MG M9 is so immense, one can just walk between 2nd row seats, which is a much better solution.
    6. Driver’s Seat Flexibility
    In MG M9, driver’s seat is 12-way electrically adjustable when compared to Vellfire’s 8-way electrically adjustable driver’s seat. Also, both the front seats get a massaging function, which is not the case with Vellfire. In addition, there’s a driver monitoring camera in MG M9 too.
    MG M9 Sunroofs
    7. Proper Sunroof (s)
    Toyota Vellfire gets two narrow glass roofs above both 2nd row seats which only give a tiny viewing area and they don’t open either. In comparison, MG M9 gets two sunroofs and both of them can open to let air in. First row gets a single-pane sunroof and second row gets a massive panoramic sunroof.
    8. More Flexibility in 2nd Row Seats
    Both MG M9 and Toyota Vellfire offer throne like experience with their 2nd row seats. In Vellfire, 2nd row seats are 8-way electrically adjustable and MG M9 offers twice that as they are 16-way electrically adjustable. Also, there are 3 memory settings for 2nd row seats of M9, where Vellfire only has 1.
    MG M9 Digital IRVM
    9. Better Mirrors (ORVMs, IRVM)
    MG M9 offers heated ORVMs, which Vellfire lacks. Where IRVM is concerned, MG offers a digital IRVM for versatility. This IRVM has multiple settings too. These include zoom, position, brightness and saturation.
    10. Self-sealing Tyres
    MG M9 offers self-sealing tyres as it runs on 19-inch ContiSeal tyres that can self repair punctures to certain extent. This feature is missing on Toyota Vellfire.
    MG M9 Ambient Lighting
    11. Better Ambient Lighting
    Toyota Vellfire has ambient lighting features too with 14 colour options. MG M9, however, takes it up a notch with a more extensive ambient lighting and offers 64 colours to choose from. More

Where rear-seat experience is concerned, we MG M9 offers a nice blend of space and comfort, along with exquisite luxury, over the top technology, equipment, features and creature comforts.
    MG M9 Rear Seat Review
    Rear seat experience of MG M9 starts with the powered sliding rear doors which can be triggered by request sensors on the handle or the key. Helping you to climb inside are a robust built-in step on door sill and a long grab handle. M9 is a tall vehicle and scooting into the seat after hopping in is like a cakewalk.

    Feature Fest
    Once on M9’s rear seat, one can’t help but notice the amount of vehicular controls that can be accessed from here. Some of these include rear auto climate control with dedicated blower, front and rear panoramic sunroof with an electric blind, rear theatre lights, electrically sliding doors, front passenger seat with the help of electric Boss Mode and more.

    2nd row seats are easily the most important ones here and they are electrically operated, heated (3 levels), cooled (3 levels) and even offer 8 massage functions including Pulse, Wave, Walk, Single, Comfort, Butterfly, Waist and Snake. These massaging functions come in handy during the commute back home after a long day of work.
    MG M9 Rear Seat Review – Extend Mode
    All seat settings and most vehicular settings are crammed into a dedicated display present below the sliding armrest of both 2nd row seats. Using this screen, 2nd row captain chairs can be electrically operated to the full extent to move it front, back, sides and recline along with lumbar support, headrest position and the position of powered calf support which can be extended too.

    Then comes the Scenario Centre that bundles seat ventilation, seat position, window and sunroof positions into four scenarios. These are Summer Cool, Winter Warm, Rest Moment and Fresh & Comfort. All these scenarios are completely customisable and with the press of one scenario, it will adjust all set parameters on its own, which is a smart feature.
    MG M9 Rear Seat Review
    Plush Luxury
    2nd row experience on MG M9 electric luxury MPV is not just limited to features, gizmos and comfort factor. MG has taken care of luxury too. The company is using soft leather on the seats and a mix of Alcantara thrown in for good measure. The same treatment extends to rear door pads as well.
    MG M9 Rear Seat Review – Boss Mode
    There’s soft touch plastics almost everywhere, complemented by gloss Black elements and brushed Aluminium elements. MG has worked on sound insulation of M9 from outside elements. When moving, there’s almost nothing that filters through M9’s well insulated cabin. Wind noise, tyre noise and road noise are very well contained.
    MG M9 Rear Seat Review
    All in all, MG M9 offers one of the best rear-seat experiences in the luxury MPV business and it all depends on MG M9’s pricing, which is still under wraps. We will say, MG M9’s Game for the Throne is quite strong. We would encourage prospective buyers to test the MG M9 before considering any imported luxury vehicle in India.

    MG Cyber X SUVBased on the teasers, it appears that one of the new MG EVs to be showcased at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed is the IM Motors IM6
    At the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed (10th July – 13th July), SAIC-owned MG Motor is poised to unveil several new models. Last year, the iconic British brand celebrated its 100th anniversary at the event. For upcoming 2025 Goodwood FOS (Festival Of Speed), MG will unveil 2 new EVs, along with Cyberster Black, Cyber X Concept and MG EX4. Let’s check out the details.
    MG Lineup For 2025 Goodwood FOS
    MG Motor will be unveiling two new EVs on 10th July, the opening day of the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed, as per the teasers. While keeping the names secret, MG has mentioned that these two will be technologically advanced EVs. One of these models could be the IM Motors IM6, as seen in a recent teaser.
    IM Motor IM6 Teased By MG Motor
    IM Motors is a joint venture between SAIC Motor, Alibaba Group and Zhangjiang Hi-Tech. The IM6 is a rebranded version of the IM LS6 sold in the Chinese market. IM6 is also available for sale in Australia and Thailand. In Australia, IM Motors also sells a related IM5 sedan. There are plans to introduce the IM6 in more overseas markets. In Europe and South America, the IM6 could be sold under the MG brand.
    Dimensionally, the IM6 SUV coupe is 4,904 mm long, 1,988 mm wide, 1,669 mm tall and has a wheelbase of 2,950 mm. It has an attractive, curvy body panelling with expressive lighting elements and distinctive petal-shaped design for the alloy wheels. Other highlights include a full glass roof, plush door handles and full-width LED lighting element at the rear.
    IM Motor IM6
    Live performance demo on the Goodwood Hillclimb
    While not naming the IM6, MG Motor has mentioned that one of the new models will demonstrate their “phenomenal EV acceleration” on the Goodwood Hillclimb. It indicates that MG Motor is likely to showcase the ‘Performance’ top variant of IM6. It has dual motors, 200 kW at front and 372 kW at the rear.
    Combined power output is 778 PS and 802 Nm of torque. The IM6 Performance variant can achieve 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds. It will be interesting to see if the IM6 can beat the existing Goodwood Hillclimb record of 39.08 seconds, set by Max Chilton in the McMurtry Spéirling EV in 2022.
    MG Cyberster Black Teased
    The Goodwood Hillclimb is not a proper racetrack, but challenges drivers with its tight bends, narrow corners and continuous incline. Along with the IM6, the MG EX4 EV will also take on the Goodwood Hillclimb. At the event, the MG EX4 EV will be presented with a fresh livery inspired by the MG Metro 6R4.
    Cyberster Black and Cyber X
    MG will also showcase the Cyberster Black, an electric two-seat convertible wrapped in a new deep black theme. MG Cyberster has been showcased earlier also at the Goodwood, but this time it gets an entirely new paint job. The black shade significantly enhances the Cyberster’s sporty aesthetics. Interiors too have an all-black theme for an impactful, immersive experience.
    MG Cyber GTS Coupe
    Joining the Cyberster will be the Cyber X concept and Cyber GTS Coupe, which was also unveiled at the 2025 Shanghai motor show. The second model under MG’s Cyber sub-brand, the Cyber X concept has boxy, rugged aesthetics. The compact SUV has a radical design, with USPs such as the eye-catching pop-up headlamps. Extremely short front and rear overhangs ensure an agile look and feel for the SUV. The Cyber X concept seems just right for urban environments.
    MG Cyber X SUV
    At the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed, MG’s main stand will also showcase other products such as the MGS5 EV and award-winning MG HS SUV. There will be an additional MG experience area, where visitors will be able to explore the high-performance MG4 EV XPower. More

    New MG Electric SUV Design Patented – Tesla Model Y, Kia EV5 Rival

    New MG Electric SUV Design PatentedMG Motor has been launching its electric offensive worldwide. The company has already emerged as a potent electric car manufacturer across multiple markets. Now, MG is working on big guns that will potentially rival high-volume electric SUVs like Tesla Model Y and BYD Sealion 7. Design patents of the same have leaked online. Let’s take a closer look.
    New MG Electric SUV Design Patented
    SAIC Motor, the parent company of MG Motor, has just filed a design patent of their upcoming electric SUV in Australia. Looking at these leaked design patents, it looks like an enlarged version of MG S5 SUV, but to rival larger vehicles like the Tesla Model Y and BYD’s Sealion 7, which is already launched in India.
    New MG Electric SUV Design Patented
    Where design is concerned, it looks a lot like the MG S5 SUV and could take S6 or S7 name, when launched. We have a sharp design with a large MG logo in the middle of its fascia. Sleek and striking headlights, LED DRL elements, bumper creases along with the contoured closed-off grille look rather nice.
    At the sides, we get conventional door handles, large alloy wheels, sophisticated silhouette with large window area and large rear doors. At the rear, we get connected wrap-around LED tail lights, extended roof spoiler, sporty rear bumper along with rear windshield wiper. There are stylish faux roof rails too, suggesting it will be a premium product.
    New MG Electric SUV Design Patented
    What to expect?
    Notably, this new MG electric SUV is likely to be a ground-up MG vehicle and not a rebadged vehicle from its sister brands within SAIC Motor’s umbrella. It is said to be underpinned by the same MSP (Modular Scalable Platform) electric car architecture with MG 4, Cyberster sports car and others.
    Interior details and powertrain details of this upcoming MG electric SUV are not known yet. When launched, it is expected to be a mid-size SUV rivalling the likes of Tesla Model Y, BYD Sealion 7, Kia EV5 and Volkswagen ID4. There are no official announcements for a launch in India. However, a mid-size premium electric SUV from MG to rival the upcoming Tesla Model Y and recently BYD Sealion 7 does not seem like a bad idea.
